What is Indie?

I've never liked that term. I think it's pretty pretentious. The radio station I have a show on calls itself eclectic, and it's the only reason I dislike it (the station, not the word).
It's also a shitty word in general.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys but if you like music from more than a couple different genres you have an eclectic taste in music. Nothing pretentious about it.

--- Quote from: jimbunny on 06 Dec 2007, 06:08 ---I've always thought of adult contemporary as the more palatable side of (90s, in my mind) commercial pop music. Bands like Gin Blossoms, Better Than Ezra, Spin Doctors, Natalie Merchant. Maybe it's just nostalgia speaking, but what's so horrible there?

Oh yeah, that. [/rude]

Okay I'll give you the rest of that but Natalie Merchant has a really pretty voice and sings nice songs.
Leinad:
Ok, a) P!ATD sucks so much balls, they put glory holes out of style. B) They are signed with Decaydence, brain child of Pete Wents who plays in *shudders* Fall Out Boy. Third, Paramore is signed by FueledbyRamen, which is either a spring-off of Decaydence, or a something. Third, the Killers kick-ass, don't diss.
Oh, and I like Paramore, they just sure as fuck aren't indie.

The actual dictionary definition and the people who use it to describe how they could possibly listen to both Franz Ferdinand AND the Flaming Lips, since, you know, they're both just so out there and you totally wouldn't expect someone who likes one to like the other. at all. ever.
